we need to understand that the debate is not so much about this individual, miranda in this case, enemy combatant in this case. it is that, once again, like post- 9/11, the patriots act, now it's the time that we have to take that deep breath and say, backing off of this sort of talk is not protecting this individual. it's protecting our constitutional rights and the tenants of this system. and we need to keep that in mind. we hear nonsense like america's a battlefield so even for u.s. citizens we can throw it all out the window from here going forward because of sudden nebulous war on terror. >> that's the debate, kelly. you've done terrorism cases. when you have senators like lindsey graham saying that the suspect should be tried as an enemy combatant and then "the new york times" comes back with an editorial -- "mr. graham's reckless statement makes a mockery of the superb civilian police work that led to the suspect's capture, starting with the skillful analysis of the video recordings of the marathon. there is no reason that the lawyers and courts cannot continue to do their work."

there's a lot we can do prior to miranda warning with public safety expectation. there's a threat to the public. we can accomplish a lot of the information gathering we need to under a constitutional structure without establishing a precedent where we'll treat americans like enemy combatants and throw them in a brig without having legal or constitutional right to do so. >> we know there's been back and forth with him doing some writing. from a national security standpoint, congressman, do you want to know? >> we want to know if there's further risk to the public and other co-conspirators out there that pose a risk. was there foreign direction? foreign players still involved in this. how did they organize this? was this self-directed by these two or was there foreign direction? you can imagine over the next weeks and months that's what the intelligence agencies are going to be poring through. we'll know as much as we possibly can about every day in their lives over the last few years, every trip they made, every person they talked to. every family member that can b

it's called the public safety exception to the miranda rule. normally you have to tell someone they have a right to remain silent and if you don't, then you can't use anything they tell you in court. so that's why the miranda warning is given. but there is an exception. you don't have to do it if there's a possible threat to public safety. and here obviously there's a concern about whether there are potential accomplices. investigators say they haven't found any. or other explosives. they say they haven't found any of those either but that's what they want to ask him. and this exception probably begins to expire the moment you invoke it so it's probably no good for more than a day or two but nonetheless they can do that. afterwards they'll have to give him his miranda warning and say whether he'll continue to answer questions. the justice department says even in very serious cases like this, most people in custody do continue to talk. >> pete, who's going to be interrogating this guy? >> well, during this period of the public safety exemption,
